Largest Palm Growers in the West Phoenix Canariensis. THIS genus of Palms is very interesting and use- ful, P. dactylifera being the plant from which the Dates of our commerce are obtained. The plants comprising this family vary much in habit, for while some are almost destitute of stem, others attain considerable height, their crown of long pinnate leaves being supported upon stout trunks. The flower spikes are produced from among the leaves and not below them, male and female flowers being produced on separate plants. The seeds of Phoenix can be easily distinguished from those of all other Palms by the deep groove extending down the back. Nearly all the species are well adapted for the decoration of apartments and in their young state they form elegant objects for the dinner table. Phoenix recUnata is an especially hand- some species attaining medium height and is of a very effective appearance as a decorative plant, which posi- tion it eminently fills on account of its hardiness also. 7.
